问题     Although "lie detectors" are widely used by governments, police departments and businesses, the results are not always accurate. Lie detectors are commonly【C1】______as emotion detectors, for their aim is to【C2】______bodily changes that contradict what a【C3】______says. The lie detector records changes【C4】______heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and the electrical【C5】______of the skin. In the first part of the【C6】______, you are electronically connected to the machine and【C7】______a few neutral question("What is your name?" etc). Your physical reactions serve【C8】______the standard for evaluating what comes【C9】______Then you are presented with a few【C10】______questions among the neutral ones("When did you rob the bank?"). The idea is that if you are【C11】______, your body will reveal the truth, even if you try to【C12】______it. Your heart rate and breathing will change【C13】______as you respond to the questions.
    That is the theory, but psychologists have found that lie detectors are simply not
【C14】______.Since most physical changes are the same across【C15】______emotions, lie detectors can- not tell【C16】______you are feeling angry, nervous or excited.【C17】______people may be tense and nervous【C18】______the whole procedure.  They may react physiologically to a certain word ("bank") not because they robbed it, but because they recently used a bad check. In either【C19】______,the machine will record a“ lie”.
    On the other hand, some practiced liars can lie【C20】______hesitation, so the reverse mistake is also common.
【C14】
选项 A、reliable
B、usable
C、reasonable
D、comprehensible
答案A
解析 由原文处转折连词but一词可知，此理论是有缺陷的，由下文可知．测谎仪并不精确。选项reliable意为“可靠的”；usable意为“可用的”；reasonable意为“合理的”；comprehensible意为“可以理解的”，结合句意。reliable符合文意，此句可意为“测谎仪不可靠”故选A。
